- because you don't challenge yourself enough, do some things that actually frighten you, get outside of what is comfortable
you are definitely right on ... I have been working on my anxiety lately ... by still carrying myself in a high value manner regardless of my emotional state, practicing flame and ghost, and reframing anxiety by breaking it down to what it really means evolutionarily and phrasing it in a positive way for myself ... pretty much I'm coming to peace with my anxiety ... that's why I had a pretty decent second field report ... but still I want to push my limits more
Quote:
- honesty, and what was stated above so that you feel comfortable using it
I am slowly learning that as well ... It's not about being "cool" it's about being sincere ... and speaking my mind
Quote:
- everyone wants to be accepted and valued, when you approach and they don't know you, you could be a threat to this, if you are approaching maybe you are not accepted and looking for acceptance and value from them, if they give this acceptance and value to you maybe it will make others think less of them, so they feel insecure or listen to their ego, it tells them fuck that, they are better then that, they won't socialize at the risk of losing the approval of others
very true ... I think that is why it is important not to be needy ... and not to have a guard up myself to much ... a good balance of dynamic social homeostasis
Quote:
- bring value, be looking to give, instead of looking to take, offer your acceptance instead of looking for theirs, basically don't be needy
... and ... recognize my own value ... think highly of myself ... and hold my ground ... and give myself the power to do exactly what you just said
Quote:
- this is hit and miss, if a girl wants a one night stand and you stop her, she could feel rejected and judged, and resent you as a result, but basically if this is what you want, show her with your words and actions, if you don't want a girl to grind on you but you are interested in her, be honest, if you want a girl to prove to you that she can talk, then talk to her and see for yourself if she has what you are looking for, when you find they have what you want, let them know, then go grind up on them or what ever after so they know you didn't just reject them, you just wanted to know them first
Right on the money! ... I imagine doing this by practicing my frame control

don't worry about it man everyone has their own comfort levels around sex, but at the same time, be aware if you find you are repulsed by the idea of sex something is up, everyone likes sex it's in our genetic makeup, you are not an exception, if you find you don't, you may be suffering from a medical condition that causes a loss of sex drive and should consult a medical professional
definitely not repulsed by it

... but I do have to say I did start feeling my sex drive drop for a while ... 5 years of bad pick up ... trying to do it on my own ... got me into a really bad head space ... lot of stress ... lately I started working with a coach ... and he taught me on how to get back on the right track ... and how it's supposed to be done ... and I noticed the more success I have been having lately .. the higher my sex drive has been ... now that being said ... I don't like one night stands ... I have had both one night stands ... and sexual relationships ... I wasn't a big fan of how one night stands feel ... not saying they won't ever happen again ... but I will try to avoid them ... the other thing is I'm germaphobic about sex with girls I barely know ... I'd like to try to find out if they are STD free ... I'd like to find out their cleaning habits ... the way they act in general ... and carry themselves ... which some guys ... including some of my friends don't agree ... they fuck with no remorse ... but I'm actually proud of that ... I feel like it's a high value characteristic ... considering that my chances of staying alive are a lot higher this way
my goal is not to have sex with 100's of women ... my goal is not to settle down with one just yet ... I simply want multiple sexual relationships and friendships ... with multiple high value ... worthy of my standards women
GOOD LUCK
Amazing how you understood everything I was getting at ... mad props ... I can tell you'r pretty good at this ... thanks for the advice!
